I mean, I would like to configure contacts (or contact groups) only in the hosts definitions, and then when a monitorized service at that host has a hard state change, the notification gets send to the contact configured at the host definition. You could do this with custom variables. You set the data you need for the notifications in the host as, for example, _NOTIFICATIONMAIL and create a new notification script that uses this address (if defined) instead of the default supplied by the Nagios configuration. Arno My problem is that I've got one hostgroup which has all hosts related to it. The services are configured for that hostgroup (all the hosts run the same services), this way I'm monitoring the same services in all hosts. But according to [1], I've to configure a contact or a contactgroup at least for the service, and here comes my problem. I would like not to share the same contacts for the same service in the different hosts, I would like to configure different contacts for the same service in different hosts. The contact should be the same configured in the host definition, so my question is if its possible to configure nagios to send service notification at destinations configured at hosts definition instead of service definition. I've read almost all the docs from [2]. But I didn't found a easy way to achieve it. The only solution that comes to my mind is to create a template for each service and then create a service for each host that inherits from the template and has the same contact of the host, but this is hard to achieve as I may have hundreds of hosts.

You can expect to have a minimal environment and should specify full paths to files and programs. Also make sure that the nagios user can successfully run that command. Also, it's much safer to pass the configuration file to use to bsonsole. So you should end up with something like /sbin/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf Things might even be more comlicated. Your $1 in the event handler script holds the host name as defined in Nagios. That is not necessarily the name of any Bacula job. Of course you could define the jobs with the plain host name, but for reasons of manageability and flexibility I usually recommend a different naming scheme for the jobs. For example, on host sample with Bacula file daemon sample-fd you might have the jobs Sample-root Sample-home and Sample-data. For many Bacula installations, you soon discover that you need several jobs to take different needs regarding retention times, storage pools, or special backup procedures into account. As long as you really only need one job named exactly like the Nagios host name, your setup is ok, though.

Start backup to $1 echo run $1 yes | bconsole ;; Educated guess - bconsole isn't in the environment path when nagios executes the event handler. You can expect to have a minimal environment and should specify full paths to files and programs. Also make sure that the nagios user can successfully run that command. Also, it's much safer to pass the configuration file to use to bsonsole. So you should end up with something like /sbin/bconsole -c /etc/bacula/bconsole.conf Things might even be more comlicated. Your $1 in the event handler script holds the host name as defined in Nagios. That is not necessarily the name of any Bacula job. Of course you could define the jobs with the plain host name, but for reasons of manageability and flexibility I usually recommend a different naming scheme for the jobs. For example, on host sample with Bacula file daemon sample-fd you might have the jobs Sample-root Sample-home and Sample-data. For many Bacula installations, you soon discover that you need several jobs to take different needs regarding retention times, storage pools, or special backup procedures into account. As long as you really only need one job named exactly like the Nagios host name, your setup is ok, though.

That is, it is the NSCA server and not the name of the host that is actually being monitored. When I run send_nsca --help on my machine it gives me much more text, and says: snip Options: host_address = The IP address of the host running the NSCA daemon snip This, as well as my tests, indicate to me that with this parameter one is simply telling send_ncsa where to send the message and not the host which the service is on. I disagree. I'm getting lots of service checks for different hosts, all being submitted by send_nsca on localhost. I.e. 'echo $SUBMITTED_RESULT | send_nsca 127.0.0.1 -p ... -c ...' with SUBMITTED_RESULT being lines containing different host names as first fields. In other words, host_address on the command line is definitely different to host_name in the actual results you submit.

That's got nothing to do with fancy. Nagios itself *does not contain*
the check commands, these are by definition plugins to Nagios.
The plugins are distributed as separate packages.
also some one mentioned the resource.cfg file its pointing to the follwing :
*# Sets $USER1$ to be the path to the plugins
$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/libexec*
**
*should this last line be tweaked to be like this:*
**$USER1$=/usr/local/nagios/commands.cfg --- since the commads are
defined here how to do the checks??**

No, this would be wrong.
$USER1$ is not supposed to point to a configuration file. You should
reread the manual to refresh your knowledge of these variables, and
why they are defined in a separate file.

I believe you had/have a working nagios that is checking hosts and
services already, correct? What did you change? Are the previous checks
you had still working? If so, how are the new service checks different
than the working ones? Without seeing your service/command definitions
in question, it sounds like you've got a check_command or command_line
wrong.

Hello, 24.09.2007 02:48,, Live Great wrote:: A bit impatient? ;-) The required configuration is to install a nagios client/plug-ins in AIX and have it monitor the DB2 database engine, I assumed it will periodically send status/summary to a remote centralized nagios server. The centralized nagios server is a freebsd system. I would like to know if I need to install a Nagios engine in AIX in order to send the result back to the centralized nagios server. I probably get confused about how the plug-ins work in a client-server model, for example a Nagios plug-ins in AIX checks the local system state and send this result to a remote centralized remote Nagios server. Can anyone please shed some lights on me? Well, first of all it might help to understand Nagios better, but you're quite close already... There are basically two ways to monitor anything using Nagios: - Use a plugin running on the Nagios server, which connects to whatever service you want to monitor, gets some result, and reports this. For that to work, you need some plugin that can check a remote DB2 installation for your Nagios server. If you don't find anything suitable on NagiosExchange, it's more or less simple to write a plugin yourself - you will use the DB2 client (hopefully) available for FreeBSD, connect to the DB2, get some important information, parse it, and return a proper state as a result code, along with a little information on stdout. Rather simple task for a shell, perl, or whatever script. - Use a check on the DB2-server itself. This would do basically the same as above, but report as a passive check result, probably using nsca, ssh or any other suitable method to remotely connect to your monitoring server. Which way to go depends on your needs and the availability of the needed programs. NagiosExchange is usually a very good starting point to look for plugins.

Hi,

hi all,
I need to forward Nagios alarm events to TEC (Tivoli Enterprise Monitor).
For this reason I wrote a couple of shell-scripts to handle Nagios
servicestate and change them in TEC suitable severity codes.
Then I try to forward these event to TEC by using a Tivoli command but
I have problems with SERVICEOUTPUT/HOSTOUTPUT which are truncated.
let's make some fixed points; these are the twho commands I defined in
my commands.cfg file:
# 'service-notify-by-postemsg' command definition
define command{
command_name service-notify-by-postemsg
command_line $USER3$/service-nagios-postemsg.sh `$DATE$` `$TIME$` `$HO
You should change these quotes to something more useful, like ' or
and make sure any special characters you pass are correctly quoted (or
handled by your script correctly). IIRC, Nagios calls the commands you
define using /bin/sh, and that might understand unexpected things...
STNAME$` `$SERVICESTATE$` `$SERVICEOUTPUT$`
}
# 'host-notify-by-postemsg' command definition
define command{
command_name host-notify-by-postemsg
command_line $USER3$/host-nagios-postemsg.sh $DATE$ $TIME$ $HOSTNAME$
Also, put qoutes around the variables. As long as you forbid any
potentilly insecure characters in Nagios' configuration (the default,
IIRC), should work fine.
$HOSTSTATE$ $HOSTOUTPUT$
}
the two files have the following inside them:
date=$1
Again, qouting...
...
what really happen to me is that the $hostoutput wich should contain
the $HOSTOUTPUT$ text is truncated right after the first word, for
istance:
$HOSTOUTPUT$ = JMX ATTRIBUTE CRITICAL -
jboss.j2ee:jndiName=ejb/GameTransactionSystem,service=EJB-StateString:
become $hostoutput = JMX
do you have any idea?
Sure. Quoting.
To verify this, try to enter the line you give above into the shell...
you'll get something else than only a variable assignment.
Arno
thanx in advance,

Re: [Nagios-users] NagiosGrapher Linux Load

The graph area is not matching what the totals are getting from the server or from the values I am printing out of the bottom of the graph. The graph is showing much higher values and the average is also showing higher on the graph. I am using STACK to show all the values of 15min, 5min, and 1min on the same graph. Does anyone know how to resolve this as well? IIRC, STACk means the values are all added up. The default NagiosGrapher setup thus creates very impressive graphics with limited value :-) When the load (1, 5, 15 min) is 1, 1, 1, the graph should show you the color for 1 min from 0 to 1, then 5min color from 1 to 2, and 15min color from 2 to three. If you want a better readable graph, I suggest simply painting three line graphs of different color for the different load values.

Dear Nagios users,
I have tried to schedule Nagios to run checks at 23:00-01:00. I defined
it at the time period as such:

sunday 23:00-01:00
monday 23:00-01:00
tuesday 23:00-01:00

thursday23:00-01:00
friday 23:00-01:00
saturday23:00-01:00

This has been discussed recently, look for the thread Excuding
timeperiods.
Short summary:
Define your timeperiods correctly :-) like
Monday 23:00-24:00,00-01:00
and so on.
Arno
and i defined the time period at the service like this (other options
omited):
define service{
check_periodmidnight ; The
service is checked at midnight 23:00 - 01:00
}
I did it yesterday and this morning as i checked Nagios i was surprised
because i see this at the service detail page :
all the Status fields are PENDING
all the Last Check fields are N/A
all the Status Informations are Service is not scheduled to be checked...
What makes me more confused is because when i checked /var/log/messages
it stated that Nagios start running checks at 00:00
and when i checked the trends, the graphic shows that all the plug-in
did their check around 00:00 and returned a state.
Does anyone know why this all happens?

Re: [Nagios-users] Perf data / Graphs
Hi,
Palle Jensen schrieb:
Arno,
Then post, for example, the output you get for the memory checks, and
I'll see how a regex should look that matches parts of the output.
This is the output I get in nagios.log:
[1181921420] Warning: Service performance data command 'echo
'server01\tMemuse\tMemory usage: total:4485.60 Mb - used: 1452.13 Mb (32%) -

5667' for service 'Memuse' on host 'server01' timed out after 5 seconds
Ok... I assume that what you want is the amount of used memory. This
is uniquely enclosed between 'used: ' and ' Mb' and it's a decimal number.
And this is what ngraph./log shows:
2007-06-15 11:35:14 PIPE: server01Memuse Memory usage: total:4485.60
Mb - used: 1502.13 Mb (33%) - free: 2983.46 Mb (67%) Memory
usage=1502.13Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: 4 blocks for 'Memuse' found.
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: graph_value=Memory usage
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: output=perfdata
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: regex=m/Memory usage=([0-9]+)Mb/i
This line looks for digits between '...usage=' and 'Mb', which is not
the format your plugin produces.
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: perfdata=Memory
usage=1502.13Mb;3588.48;4037.04;0.00;4485.60
2007-06-15 11:35:14 REGEX: NO MATCH.
2007-06-15 11:35:14 VALUES: [server01][Memuse]:No matching perfdata values
found...
Logical result, then.
The first part of check_ntmem.ncfg looks like this (there is more but it is
pretty long):
define ngraph {
graph_legend Memory Used
graph_perf_regex Memory usage=([0-9]+)Mb
Try this line instead:
graph_perf_regexused: (\d+\.\d+) Mb
I think that should work. And I guess you see how his works, at least
basically. Some understanding of regular expressions IS helpful here.
graph_value Memory usage
hide yes
rrd_color 00a000
rrd_plottype AREA
service_name Memuse
}
I use check_nt to monitor windows hosts, and the plugins return stuff like
CPU Load 23% (5 min average) | '5 min avg Load'=23%;80;90;0;100
which is captures by the following ngraph configuration:
define ngraph{
service_nameWindows Load
graph_perf_regex=(\d+)%;
graph_value load
graph_units CPU Usage %
graph_legendavg load
rrd_plottypeAREA
rrd_color EACC00
}
The regex gets the digits between = and %, which is stored in the
rrd file.
I will definitely try that, thanks.
I think it won't fit to your plugin :-(
I'm still unsure where exactly your problem is... is it understanding
how to capture numbers from the plugin output? Or is it in setting up
all the graphical elements you want?
Correct that is right on the spot.
Well, the graphs are a little different. Most of the commands are more
or less directly passed to rrdtoll, so you'll need to read the man
pages for that beast. The command format is a little too cryptic for
me to get useful results without lots of trial and error :-)
(Note that this is not meant as an advertisement, but rather as a last
resort solution for Palle!)
Are you kidding??
No.
I appreciate the help you are giving, and sharing your experience, and
apologies for misunderstanding.
No worries, as the Aussies are said to say :-)

Well, I don't think so... getting a host or service configured to
specific needs is rather simple IMO. Getting NagiosGrapher adapted to
lots of different checks is much more time consuming for me, so I can't
simply create an example for you.
and so far I haven't
seen anyone in here unwilling to share experience, which I plan to do as
well once I get a good hang of this. I thought that was what these mailing

So far, this is only a matter of following the NagiosGrapher

I don't graph more than the above in this case, which I set up following
the NagiosGrapher instructions and the rrdtols manual. To the graphs, I
add some statistics:

A simple chmod ... might be enough for you. More information can be found in the fine manual, by the way. Also, depending on how you installed Nagios, there might be a make target to set up these permissions - the make output informs you of the possible operations, usually. Arno Thanks in advance.

Re: [Nagios-users] whether we (as a user of Nagios tool) will beallowed to modify the shell prg or not
Hi, I'm wondering what you want to know... you can do almost everything with Nagios - that's described in the license - but, as far as I know, there is no shell program included in a typical Nagios system. If, after modifying the core program, it's ok to still use the name Nagios is another question. You'll have to discuss that with Ethan. But, reading your original mail, I suppose it might be best for you to first read and understand the manual and the license and then ask for clarifications or help when you encounter specific problems. The points you asked are, IMO, both clearly described in the documentation available at the project web site and with the source.

Re: [Nagios-users] nagios and selinux?
Hi, On 1/25/2007 10:44 PM, Petersen, Mark wrote: Can you move the cgi's (or possibly hardlink them) to someplace that apache will let them run (say /var/www/nagios2/cgi-bin)? Otherwise you might need some sort of a compile option to just install them there. Someone more familiar with the build process might be able to help here. That would not help, given a tightly locked SELinux system, I believe. There's also ways to hack apache (may require recompile) to allow this, but I'm under the impression from these two posts that SELinux would disallow those changes to take effect? The point is to configure SELinux to allow whatever is necessary. This will not only be apache and the cgis, but also the monitoring plugins and, of course, nagios itself. I've never used SELinux, but AFAIK you can run a system, log all the activities, review that log to make sure everything is ok, and convert that in a ruleset which allows just what you observed. This will not work where programs do things that were never observed. Just think about event handler scripts that never got triggered in your observation phase. In short, you will need someone who actually knows that SELinux stuff and has access to the machine in question. A security oriented person would hopefully never install SELinux rules on such a machine that he did not review or even create himself.

I want one Nagios instance to monitor one lot of hosts and the other to monitor a different lot of computers and they should be independent of each other. How would I go about doing this? Simply installing Nagios in two different locations and making Apache server each? One location for Nagios is sufficient, but configuration and state files must be separate. You'll probably need two different sets of CGIs, compiled with their respective paths. IIRC, there is an environment vraiable you can set to point the CGIs at their state file, but setting this in an apache CGI environment is not something I know how to do :-) Also, one apache is enough, just set up two locations for Naegios. Of course the machine you run all this on should offer enough performance - Nagios can use lots of power. Arno Thanks Semir - Take Surveys. Earn Cash.

But I have an error of

Any ideas ?
Sure.
First, send such mail to the list - I'm not prepared to accept payment
for consulting services from outside of Europe :-)
Second, have you verified that the plugin actually exists, can be
executed by Nagios, etc?
In other words, wou'll need a more detailed problem description. For
example, if the plugin can't be built, the corresponding output from the
configure and make commands will be what you need.
With some experience you'll spot the problem yourself. The Nagios
message you quote, for example, shows quite clearly how you could tackle
this problem.

Hi, On 9/18/2006 1:29 PM, Wessel van Heerde wrote: Hi all, I'm managing a small Nagios environment which contains about 30 hosts. The host detail page in the interface shows me that the last check time of these hosts is about 234 days ago. Why is it such a long time ago this host was checked? Because hosts are only checked when there is a service problem. This is documented. I recently (some days ago) added some new hosts, but their state is still pending. What is taking Nagios so long to check them. As long as the services assigned to he hosts are checked everything is fine. If you don't have services at these hosts, assign one - check_ping or check_icmp, for example, are a common choice. Arno Thanks in advance, Wessel - Using Tomcat but need to do more?

Make sure the plugin you're trying to run actually exists. This is most probably not what you see in the web server error log. The original problems seems to indicate that you did not set up the web server correctly. It's described in the manual, but basically you need to make sure that the nagios cgi-scripts are executed correctly. Permissions, ownership, selinux and AppArmor are some things to check first, then make sure the web server setup is thus that these scripts are actually executed and not simply sent when they are called. what does this mean... i am using the minimal.cfg file to get nagios up and running first ... Have you modified the configuration so that it actually uses the plugins you installed? Nagios really needs to be setup by you. in the command prompt services like ./check_ping ./check_tcp are working fine for the localhost.. As which user? Have you checked the paths?

But in exact this paragraph it says: Multiple notification commands should be separated by commas. All notification commands are executed when the contact needs to be notified. So when I put this contact into a service, always both commands will be executed. But I want some services only to send email and not SMS. Got my idea? Yes... what I do: I don't use the supplied example commands but rather created my own notification system. The notification command, when invoked, calls the way how to notify the contact from an LDAP backend. It's been lots of work (and is not yet finished or even documented) but it allows more flexibility. The simple solution would be shell script which, by checking the parameters for contact name, service name and whatever you like determines how to notify. A database backend is useful for easier configuration but not extacly necessary. Arno Christopher ah, sorry, in my haste I misread, ok then you do need 2 contact definitions and 2 contactgroup definitions, one email, and one both, then just assign the contact group to the service definitions according to which notifications you want.

Re: [Nagios-users] CGI and Status Map
This should have been a new thread. If it was, I could tell you that the status map cgi is not built because the prerequisite gd package was not available. In the manual it is stated that you need to make sure you have the gd development files installed before you start the installation of nagios itself.

Re: [Nagios-users] Host check action alert issue
Hello,
On 5/26/2006 11:41 PM, Oliver Marshall wrote:
Does anyone else have problems with email notifications generated by the
check_command param generated by host failures, particularly the
check-host-alive command ?
I have the check_command for each host set to check-host-alive. If any
of the hosts goes offline, and fails the check-host-alive check, I get
this email;
Subject: ** PROBLEM alert - My laptop/ is **
* Nagios *
Notification Type: PROBLEM
Service:
Host: My laptop
Address: 192.168.100.241
State:
Date/Time: Fri May 26 22:38:07 BST 2006
Additional Info:
The 'notify-by-email' command that I am using to send out the email
notifications is as follows.
look at the sample host-notify-by-email or whatever it's called. Should
be in the sample config Nagios created during the make cycles.
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_namenotify-by-email
command_line/usr/bin/printf %b subject: **
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$
** \n\n * Nagios *\n\nNotification Type:
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost:
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time:
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$ | /usr/bin/msmtp
$CONTACTEMAIL$
}
Now, this is the same command I use for every other alert, but only the
check-host-alive check causes an email with NO source, NO state etc.
Is it just me that gets this? Does the check-host-alive command not fill
in the $servicedesc$ or the $servicestate$ ?
As you noted, servicestate is not the right thing to report in a host
check result. There is a list of all available macros in the manual, and
you'll find the corresponding $HOST...$ ones in there.
The more important question is - why are notifications generated at all?
You'd have to show us the configuration for one of the hosts in
question. Also make sure the check command works as you intend it to.
If, for example, you've got a macro in there that doesn't contain
anything useful that might easily explain why the check command fails.

Re: [Nagios-users] problems with nrpe 2.0 and 2.4 on x86_64
Hello,
On 3/30/2006 7:08 PM, Werner Flamme wrote:
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1
Hi all,
for about 2 weeks we have problems with 2 monitored servers. Both are
running SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 x86_64 on AMD Opteron, both have
following components installed:
- - NRPE Version: 2.3 Last Modified: 01-23-2006 (I downloaded 2.4 ;-)
- - nagios-plugins 1.4.2
- - nagios-plugins-sap-ccms-0.7.2-45
- - xinetd-2.3.13-39.11
Which gcc version did you use?
Are these _all_ your SLES/x86 machines, do you have similar software on
32-bit-systems, or other software (i.e. older/newer versions, different
gcc versions, different libraries...) on similar hardware?
Each time the monitoring server sends a nrpe trap, I find
kernel: nrpe[8893]: segfault at 0030 rip 002a9568a911 rsp
007fbfffb800 error 4
in /var/log/messages.
So I assume it's nrpe crashing.
Xinetd complains about
xinetd[12263]: Reading included configuration file: /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe
[file=/etc/xinetd.d/nrpe] [line=15]
I don't see a complaint. Anyway, I'd recommend to try compiling nrpe on
the x64 server without optimization, i.e. using -O0 (Oh-zero). In
another project there are reports that gcc 4.x on 64-bit-architectures
may generate faulty code.
in /var/log/messages. You see /etc/xinetd.d/nrpe here:
- ---snip---
# default: on
# description: NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor)
# only_from: 141.65.129.80
service nrpe
{
socket_type = stream
protocol= tcp
wait= no
user= nagios
group = nagios
disable = no
server = /usr/bin/nrpe
server_args = -n -c /etc/sapmon/nrpe.cfg -i
flags = REUSE
log_on_failure += USERID
}
- ---pins---
As you see, line 15 contains the closing bracket. It does not make any
differences whether the order of the lines are changed or if I use
nobody/nogroup instead - it's an error on line 15. When I add the only_from
directive, it is still line 15. When I enter a faulty parameter (disabled
instead of disable) I see the corresponding line number in the error text.
Bad enough, but I'd ignore this for the time being.
And to add to my confusion, the same configuration runs fine on another
machine with i686 architecture. Just the instance names of some SAP checks
are changed...
Best of all is that the monitoring server shows all services as green, and
with the correct output.
I am just a bit concerned since one day we had a /var/log/messages of 35
Gig size :-(
Fun... :-|
What did I do till now? Well, first I tried the rpms delivered with SLES9.
Then I removed them and compiled nrpe 2.0 (and later nrpe 2.4) on the
machines.
File a bug report at SuSE / Novell and let theyr support crew work on
the problem. After all, that's one of the differences between SLES and
SL without ES.
No changes - the error appears, nagios shows good results. Then
I commented out all the commands in /etc/sapmon/nrpe.cfg. The error is
still there, now nagios shows (correctly) that the service is not defined.
Can someone please put me on the way to get rid of those error lines?
Google and alltheweb.com only told me that there was an issue with nrpe
segfaulting when the config was faulty - but this was 3 years ago... BTW, I
did not find something like nrpe -v -c /etc/sapmon/nrpe.cfg or something
similar to have nrpe check its config file. Is it planned to support this
check in the future?
I don't think this is a configuration issue.

Re: [Nagios-users] Understanding service checks
Hello, On 3/28/2006 8:01 PM, Dirk H. Schulz wrote: Hi folks, today both our dns servers went out of function. Funny day, eh? As a result every service check in nagios timed out after 10 sec. and was CRITICAL. EVERY one of several hundred! Since service check definitions depend on host definitions and host definitions contain ip addresses I would not have expected a dns outage to have any effect on nagios' service checks. Can anyone explain why there IS an effect? I would like to understand it more deeply. Rhis sounds like it depends only on your Nagios setup and your network. For example, if you _only_ use IP adresses and not DNS in your Nagios configuration, all your routers do _not_ need DNS, and all your services do _not_ depend on DNS (think of verifying reverse mapping for mail address verification, or SSL certificate checks, for example, or nrpe or (x)inetd or TCP wrappers... lots of opportunities to need DNS without being aware of it) having a DNS outage should not affect service state. In other words: Since you experienced service failures, something _must_ depend on either DNS or some outage not directly monitored affected DNS as well as all other checks you run.

Try installing the libraries and header files. Depending on the system you're workin with, the integrated package management usually has something like postgres-devel or similar available.

graph_log_regex , (\d+\.\d+)($| critical| warning)
graph_value 15min
graph_units load

$_-{service_name} would result in LOAD and would match $service if
the
service send to the pipe is in fact a LOAD type of check result.
Ok, that sounds reasonable.
Had the same problem a while back and it related to the case of
my service_description, as in uppercase or lowercase. I had
defined
my normal service check for http and it included the following:
With the problem example here, the service in nagios is defined rougly
with a host_name of aragon and a service_description of Current
Load. In the NagiosGrapher config, the definition for the service_name
is LOAD. So, the problem is the comparison check line in collect.pl
which reads
# Adding Graph Value Key's
foreach ((at)blocks) {
if ( $service =~ /$_-{service_name}/ ) {
The $service at this point will be Current Load and the $service_name
is LOAD, which with the above pattern match will fail and then not
define the step and heartbeat.
To solve, either make the comparison case insensitive or change the
$service_description or the $service definition to match each other. The
first one will stop any proper regex matching I think (not too sure how
that all works), but as a temp fix you could change the if line to
read:
Well, that might be a problem, too, but it's definitely not the problem
we observed. First, if collect2.pl doesn't recognize that values as
belonging to a service it has to graph it will not even try to create a
rrd. Thus, the simple fact that rrd creation was invoked tells us that
the RE worked.
Then, in my setup, I hand-crafted the definitions in ngraph.cfg and I am
sure that they don't stumble over case-sensitive matching. For example,
the exact same service definition, matched by the exact same graph
definition, has resulted in severl rrds being created and one not. (some
time ago, but I guess I could still find the log files in some backup...)
if ( $service =~ /$_-{service_name}/i ) {
Hmm. Even if I would neither want nor need that modification in my copy
of collect2.pl, there might be many cases where it's helpful.
Arno

Subject: Re: [Nagios-users] Nagios ignoring Perl Shebang -
Was: Notification script problems.. How do I debug
You've probably got a Nagios with embedded Perl running. There's a
section in the manual with some hints how to write your Perl
scripts in
that case.
Arno
I don't think so.
I haven't been following this thread so I don't have too much helpful to
say but embedded Perl doesn't care about the shebang.
If the plugin text contains the string '/bin/perl' - usually in the
shebang line,
then the plugin is assumed to be Perl and is compiled by the Perl
compiler (called
by eval { }) once, and thereafter the in core op-codes executed without
recompilation.
Yes, but I *think* I recall something about special requirements for
Perl plugins that are interpreted by he embedded Perl engine. The manual
section docs/embeddedperl.html lists some restrictions and things to
consider. Anyway, since I never used ePN,I have no hands-on experience
if any normal Perl program needs chenges.
In any case, all my plugins and all the standard plugins have a standard
shebang line
that works fine with embedded Perl.
The usual way to deal with _any_ misbehaving program that Nagios runs -
plugins,
event handlers, the whole shebang - is to wrap the offender in a
reliable script that
captures the argv it was called with, invokes the program with those
args and then
logs args and stdout, stderr to somewhere convenient.
(I wish that were more common knowledge)
I know that this matter of wrappers has been discussed on this list
before
(my name and Andreas Ericsson).
Indeed, and those are valuable hints.
Arno
Yours sincerely.

The first step could be to modify your command_line to actually send a

Why don't you try the original notification script and simply insert

the way, is probably that configure couldn't identify your mailer.

That depends on your mail command. I suppose you need to set the

Both $step and $heartbeat were empty for these cases. And the log is
missing the DS sections all together. I seem to have the fixed the $step

I need to do even more debugging here.
Hmm. As far as I can see, the problem seems to be the line
if ( $service =~ /$_-{service_name}/ ) {
if that condition isn't true, $heartbeat, $step and the DS definition
aren't done. Just what we observed. (I at least intermittently.)
Since you seem to work on the code currently: Where do $service and $_

I get some graphs but how can one see the graphs unless you explicitly go to /cgi-bin/graphs.cgi ? Nagiosgrapher installs serviceextinfo definitions automatically.

The sample config show a part like: icon_image_tag dot.gif' border=0/aa target=_blank href=graphs.cgi?###URL### border=0img src=/nagios/images/logos/graph.png border=0logos/dot.gif But however I twist and turn I see no way anything good can come from that line. (I suppose the normal result from dot.gif would be a webpage with a img src=dot.gif bit included. I couldn't, too, but it works nonetheless. :-) So I am still puzzled in the way the link to the graphs should become part of the normal nagios config. You've got to set up nagios to read the file(s) nagiosgrapher creates: In my nagios.cfg I have: # The following line is for nagios_grapher. This should be the only place where # service extended information is stored! cfg_dir=/etc/nagios2/serviceext That information is only read when nagios starts or when it's reloading the configuration after a SIGHUP. Afterwards, you should see icons for the graphs nagiosgrapher creates, and they should link to the right cgis. Here it works. I never tried it, but setting up serviceextinfo for nagiosgrapher and manually or by other tools might become painful. (In fact I am puzzled by much more but let's take it one step at the time.) Let nagiosgrapher write a detailed log and observe what happens in there. tail -f is just the tool for that... Hugo.

Hmm. I *really* hope you never installed the plugins in your root directory. Any ideas? Return code 127 means that the plugin was not found in the location specified in the command definition. Nagios is apparently trying to execute /check_ping and not /path/to/check_ping (usually /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ping). There are four primary possibilities -- 1) your command definition does not utilize the $USER1$ macro in the command_line i.e. 'command_line $USER1$/check_ping -H ...' 2) you have manually specified the incorrect path in the command_line i.e. 'command line /check_ping -H ...' 3) $USER1$ is not set to the correct plugins path in resource.cfg 4) you have not included resource.cfg as a resource_file in nagios.cfg One other possibility I encountered: When the resource.cfg file is not readable by nagios, the above happens after nagios reloaded its configuration. The initial configuration file access happens before nagios drops its rights (when started as root), but afterwards, during operation, it's simply no longer permitted to read the resource.cfg... he easy work-around is a chown on the file followed by another configuration reload.

Hello, James Davis schrieb: Arno Lehmann wrote: ... Basically, wherever you put it yourself :-) It's a setting in the main configuration file. It wasn't in there but following on from that I checked the other files referenced in the configuration file and found it in /var/log/nagios/status.log which I then deleted the entry from. I started nagios up and I've yet to receive any new alerts. Does this happen if you remove a host from the configuration whilst there's an alert outstanding? I don't know, because I never had such a situation, but I guess that, depending on your setup, all the important state information is saved, and that obviously includes state, notification number and interval and last one sent. And, most probably, lots of other interesting stuff, too. So, in short, I'd assume that it does. A simple work around would be to manually inject a passive result that indicates a good state, and then reload Nagios with the modified configuration.

One side-note: Using 2.0b4, I get (kind of) funny output from the service availability report (slightly edited, TAB-formatted): State Type / Reason Time % Total Time % Known Time OK Unscheduled 0d 7h 55m 21s 17.002% 17.002% Scheduled 0d 11h 56m 32s 25.629% 25.629% Total 0d 19h 51m 53s 42.631% 42.631% WARNING Unscheduled 0d 0h 0m 0s -35.59% 0.000% Scheduled 0d 0h 0m 0s 35.599% 0.000% Total 0d 0h 0m 0s 0.000% 0.000% UNKNOWN Unscheduled 0d 10h 8m 39s 21.770% 21.770% Scheduled 0d 16h 35m 18s 35.599% 35.599% Total 1d 2h 43m 57s 57.369% 57.369% CRITIC.

Can someone else verify this (keep in mind this is a host with lots of scheduled downtimes!), or is this even a known bug which I overlooked?

Re: [Nagios-users] Customizing Notifications
Hello, On 17.11.2005 23:04, Mark Pearson wrote: Does anyone know where in the documentation or know how to customize the notifications that are sent? I have searched all over and can't find anything. Then again I am a bit cross-eyed with the time I have spend setting up Nagios for all our hosts. Look at the commands you use for notification... it's just a shell command with some Nagios variables in it. Arno Thanks, Mark T.
